Meadow Brook Weddings

Meadow Brook is truly a magical place to get married at. Whether you have an indoor or outdoor Michigan wedding ceremony or an indoor or outdoor wedding reception, Meadow Brook has different options for all of them, and each are as beautiful as the next.

We've impressed presidents, princes, movie stars and moguls. YOU AND YOUR WEDDING will get the same attention. - Meadow Brook

Three lovely spots for your Michigan wedding are the Pegasus Garden and the Rock Garden, and the Breakfast Garden.

Traditionally known as the Breakfast Garden because of its location off the Breakfast Room, this formal garden is enclosed with brick walls and is one of our most popular spots for a wedding ceremony. The Rock Garden, a magnificent combination of open space, floral gardens, and old-world charm. - Meadow Brook

If you're looking to have a larger wedding reception, of course they can accommodate that! The offer a garden tent that holds all your friends and family comfortably.

For larger wedding receptions, the Garden Tent is available from mid May through mid October. Positioned on the expanse of lawn south of the Pegasus Garden, the majestic white tent has become Meadow Brook Hall's symbol of summer wedding magic.

Here's some more about the indoor features of Meadow Brook Hall:

With an indoor wedding, the dining experience takes place in the breathtaking Christopher Wren Dining Room. Giuseppe Corrado Parducci, the renowned Detroit sculptor, designed and articulated the elaborate plaster ceiling after 18th century designs by Christopher Wren, the champion of the Neo-Classical period. Though styled after the work of this architect, the final result is completely unique. The Ballroom at Meadow Brook Hall is the perfect location for smaller, intimate indoor ceremonies and is used as the rain back-up site for outdoor wedding ceremonies. It seats 125 facing the fireplace or 170 facing the beautiful second story stained glass windows. The smaller wedding events (under 100) use the Ballroom for dancing after dinner in the Christopher Wren Dining Room.

Your indoor Michigan wedding photography will be unique and artistic, with great ornate and intricate detailed architecture as your backdrop that is displayed throughout the mansion. The Dodge Mansion and all the grounds of Meadow Brook provide many beautiful and unique locations that work perfectly for your outdoor Michigan wedding photography.

We hope you'll enjoy these images from past Meadow Brook Hall weddings, and we look forward to speaking with you about your Michigan wedding photography!

As 2017 comes to a close, we wanted to share our favorite wedding photos of 2017! We had some absolutely amazing wedding clients this year, and we were able to create absolutely stunning, romantic, and beautiful wedding photography for them. It’s always hard for us to narrow our favorites down, but we’ve managed to widdle it down! Underneath each photo, we will include the venue where the photo was taken. Enjoy!

In early October, we had the pleasure of joining Emily and Thomas on their wedding day! We actually met up with them last year when we took their engagement photos at Cranbrook (see those pictures here!). When I say these two are fun, I mean they’re SO FUN! Not only are they beautiful and photogenic, but they’re easy-going, goofy, and all around relaxed people. They are quite literally our favorite kind of bride and groom! Meadow Brook Hall wedding photography is always gorgeous, but in October, it’s practically unbeatable. We love this venue for so many reasons, and you’ll see why once you see their photos!

We started our day at the Royal Park Hotel, where Emily and Thomas got ready for their wedding. Emily stole the show in her stunning fitted, beaded gown by Amelia Sposa, an Italian designer. Emily took a big risk by buying her gown online, but I think we can all agree that it really worked out for her! Emily and Thomas planned a gorgeous wedding, with beautiful fall florals, bridesmaids in burgundy, and groomsmen in blue. After their adorable first look, we headed to Meadow Brook Hall and got some beautiful bride and groom portraits on the grounds. These two keep each other laughing – they could barely keep a straight face for their photos! Keep scrolling to see more of their stunning Meadow Brook Hall wedding photography!

This bridal party looks ready for the wedding ceremony! Their ceremony took place in the beautiful Pegasus Garden. This is Meadow Brook’s most popular ceremony site, as it has a lovely center aisle and a gorgeous fountain in the background. We love getting a birds-eye view of this spot – it’s always a great shot!

These two sure look happy to be newlyweds! After the ceremony, we headed to the tent for their Meadow Brook reception. We love this venue, because every time we enter the tent, it looks different every time! We were so impressed with Emily and Thomas’s decor choices. It was a classy, beautiful fall theme! We’ve never seen the wooden tables before, along with rustic wooden chairs. From the centerpieces to the linens, these two knocked it out of the park. We loved it!

These two were so easy to work with, and they put together a really beautiful day. Thank you so much, Emily and Thomas, for hiring us as your wedding photographers! We couldn’t be more honored to have been a part of your day. We wish you all the happiness in the world!

Get ready for A LOT of photos!! We absolutely adore seeing our wedding clients go through the beautiful process of getting married, and capturing every step of the way. Sunny and Meghana had 3 days worth of wedding events, and we got to be there for all of it! With family flown in from India and many ceremonies and traditions, these three days were rich with beauty and meaning. Every ceremony, every prayer, and every event was more beautiful than the last, and getting the big picture of all that went into their wedding left us in awe. We have to send out a special thank you to Rupali from Utsav Planners, who flawlessly executed such a large wedding! With Indian wedding photography, it’s important to be present for all the pre-wedding rituals and festivities. We’ve had plenty of practice with Indian wedding photography, so we loved every second of this beautiful wedding.

We started at the bride’s parents’ home where the family came together in a series of prayers and ceremonies to celebrate their daughter transitioning into this new and exciting phase of life!

Later that night, we attended the Mendhi ceremony, where henna is applied to the bride and other women in the family. The Henry was the perfect venue for this event – it was lovely! And of course, the bride outshined everyone else there. She always looks so stunning!

The next day was full of prayers and greeting the groom’s family, and that evening, the Sangeet took place at The Henry. There was, of course, food, singing, and dancing. We love this event, because it’s so lively and joyful – and it’s always fun for us to see the families having such a good time together – dance off included!!

Wedding day!! We arrived at Lovett Hall for the wedding ceremony, and we were in awe at how beautiful the set up was. The raised aisle and platform was so gorgeous, and the wedding ceremony was just as beautiful. We love how involved the families are in these ceremonies. The bride and groom got married surrounded by their closest family members and loved ones.

Next, we move to Meadow Brook Hall for the stunning wedding reception. Let’s be honest though, the real stunners are the bride and groom. They look amazing! We were in love with Meghana’s blush beaded gown, and Sunny looked so handsome in his grey suit with a red rose boutonniere. The Meadow Brook tent was decked out in shimmering navy linens, red roses in vases and in ice, and modern clear chairs. It was truly a sight to see. This wedding had it all – acrobats, jugglers, a DJ, and of course, an amazing father-daughter first dance! These two entertained the guests with a choreographed dance to a medley of songs. The dance floor filled up and everyone danced the night away. What an awesome wedding!

Congratulations, Sunny and Meghana! We wish you all the happiness in the world!

A special shout out to the amazing vendors who made this amazing day possible:

Early this summer we had the pleasure of providing gorgeous wedding photography to, not only one, but two amazing couples! Shruti and Tripti are two beautiful sisters who decided to plan their special days together. Now that is sisterly love! These amazing people created the most beautiful and visually pleasing wedding ever. The breathtaking attention to detail is everywhere you look. Every stitch is brimming with love, and care. What a perfect way for both couples to start their lives together!

Masterfully coordinated by Rajul Pillai of Blissful Weddings and Events, we knew we were in for a smooth flowing day, and a magical wedding! We also had the pleasure of working with the talented videographer, Adam Haller of Two Penny Productions, who helped us capture this special day.

The first amazing day of wedding festivities brought us to the Grosse Pointe War Memorial for Shruti’s ceremony. For her ceremony dress, Shruti chose to wear a gorgeous dress from Blue Peacock Boutique in a combination of rich golds and oranges. A warm and lavish color spectrum that beautifully complimented her glowing complexion!

The flower selection, and displays were truly impressive, thanks to Viviano Flower Shop! The rich colors and billowing shapes compliment the overall scheme so well!

Day two of this fabulous wedding weekend brought us to gorgeous Meadow Brook Hall, where Sankalp and Tripti were next to pledge their love to one another! Dawning a stunning dress of blue, gold, and rich coral from Frontier Heritage, Tripti was ready for her big day! What a stunning bride and groom!

This time the flower scheme composed mostly of whites and blush, to enhance Tripti’s crisp and cool-toned color spectrum. You can tell there wasn’t a single dull moment at this ceremony! You can feel the happiness in every photograph we took.

How can you top such lovely ceremonies? How about a joint, high fashion, reception at the iconic Fillmore Detroit! It’s like a little slice of Hollywood in our own backyard! Evening wear courtesy of Blue Peacock Boutique and designer Melissa Sweet, and make up by the artistically talented Amanie Mokdad, these gorgeous couples were definitely the stars and starlets of the show!

Now this is a high fashion reception!

This wedding is certainly be hard to top! From traditional Indian elegance to red carpet, their magical day had it all! We loved every moment of this celebration of love and commitment.

Thank you so much for booking with us Shruti, Anup, Tripti and Sankalp! We had an amazing time capturing your once in a lifetime moments, and wish you all a wonderful future together!
